Question

"A client with acute kidney failure is placed on fluid restriction of 1000 mL of fluid over a 24-hour period. What is the priority nursing action?"

Answer 1

Answer:

Offer the client proportioned fluids in the day and less during the night.

Explanation:

The situation where the patient is in a 1000 mL fluid restriction for a 24-hour period requires a nurse or authorized health professional to schedule fluid that the patient can drink during the day (on this schedule the nurse should include liquids present in food) this schedule should warn that the patient should avoid drinking at night so that there is no risk of aspiration.

Acute renal failure, also called chronic kidney disease, is the slow loss of kidney function, whose main function is to remove waste and excess water from the body.
